Reflection – fifth Sunday of Easter The Gospel is from John 13:31-35.We are disciples,
followers of Christ, but how many of us would pass the test that Christ himself lays down for deciding
who are his true followers? The word "charity" unfortunately has come to have a very restricted
meaning in our present-day vocabulary. It signifies giving alms, a gift of money to a needy person.
This is but a very small part of the true charity, true love of neighbour which Christ made the
distinguishing mark of the true Christian. He who truly loves his neighbour must be interested, first
and foremost, in those things which concern that neighbour’s most important purpose in life, his
eternal salvation.
Here is where so many good Christians fail in true charity. Effective interest in missionary activity is
a case in point. Practical help in parochial matters, taking part in the various societies which are
intended to build up and strengthen the faith and the devotion of the members of the parish is another
obligation of true charity. So many seem to think it is no concern of theirs but it is. Advising and
encouraging, with true Christian kindness, a neighbour who is beginning to grow lax in his attendance
to his Christian duties, or who is forming habits or alliances which, if unchecked, will bring misery
and suffering to his family, and scandal to the neighbourhood, and even the possibility of his own
eternal destruction, is also an exercise of real Christian charity.There are thousands of broken homes
today which would not be broken if there was true charity in those homes not only in the heart of the
offender but in the hearts of the offended. There are thousands in jails and in hospitals of
rehabilitation today who would not be there if their families and neighbours fulfilled their obligation
of Christian charity. There are many, far too many, lapsed Catholics in the world today, who would
not have lapsed had true charity been practised by their relatives and neighbours. And, last but not
least, there are millions of people who have remained outside the Church of Christ because the hall-
mark of charity which Christ said was its distinguishing mark was tarnished or invisible. Each one of
us could, with great profit, spend a few moments today looking into ourselves and comparing our
thoughts and our words and our actions with the thoughts, words and actions of love which Christ
expects from his followers.It is never too late to mend. Begin today to take a true Christian interest in

3. the spiritual fate of your family and neighbours. Where words have already failed perhaps, try prayer
and example. The grace of God will cooperate with your sincere, charitable effort.
